Wouldn't it be cool to have something like iTunes/WMP for the ITs?

I don't really see the point. What is the IT missing for music playing?
We already have canola, rhapsody, and a couple other media players.

Flash player support on the 770/n800 is very poor, now Adobe wants to release another poorly supported on linux application?
So this means it probably won't be supported by nokia until the n900 gets a fw update. ( not a typo, I mean n900 )
The video performance of mplayer is superior when compared to the n800's flash player. Playing the downloaded flash video files with mplayer on the 770 is pretty good. Flash player on the n800 is barely watchable. And, did I mention that mplayer performs even better on the n800?
If this new media player is not supported by the n800 I will complain to my favorite video sites if they require this new drm^h^h^h software.
will run on Windows XP and Vista, and Mac OS X 10.4 and 10.5 on launch, with support for Linux to follow later.

Yes, DRM sucks. But, that won't last for too long (in my opinion). Look at what hapened with EMI and iTunes!
But, I'm guessing that few people here actually use iTunes/iPod... That's a shame. It is a benchmark on how a media player should work. It is seamless between home PC and portable device: syncing, metadata, playhead location, media management, UI, etc.
That is what is missing on the IT.

To be fair alot of the Linux media players actually does this aswell. The missing part is the store part. But that's being solved at the moment, just not with any of the DRM based stores.

(Personally, I don't care if my media manager/player has a store. I just use the other functions.)
